By Professor Gary Ritchison of the University Works at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond Ky, USA. His long-term interests have been in avian mating strategies, specifically examining factors that influence mate choice (and choice of extra-pair partners) by female songbirds and avian vocal behaviour (particularly the functions of song), the ecology and behaviour of grassland…
I have always been fascinated and touched by the devotion of Emperor Penguins and their rearing of a single chick in possibly the remotest and severest of environments on the planet. They breed in the depth of the Antarctic winter during 24 hours of darkness in temperatures which range from –20 C to – 50C…
Recently the New Scientist has run a number of articles on Dolphins and their communication. animalnav.org has already begun to discuss Dolphin communication see other posts. Our key point on this is that most “researchers” are allergic to the very idea of Telepathy but this is the very word that describes how dolphins communicate together….
Migratory birds navigate with the help of the Earth’s magnetic field, but how do their compasses work? Peter Hore of Oxford University discusses whether quantum coherence and entanglement could be the answer. Click here for the full article: The Quantum Robin
Morphic resonance is an idea developed by Rupert Sheldrake which describes how the universe is pervaded with morphic resonances that organise and manage our world. He describes this in detail in his book, “Dogs that know when their owners are coming home”. The existing classical model of a mechanistic world described by Science fails to…
Being more familiar with history, archaeology, and of course dowsing, than I am with physics, it must be from the aspect of the first three rather than the latter discipline that my approach to the subject of animal migration is made. I was fascinated by the observations made by Jim Andrews pointing to what would seem to be the distinct possibility of Roman surveyors using directional…
Intro to the paper >>>> This paper is important as it begins to investigate a genetic basis to animal navigation and focuses on finding markers to get a grip on understanding the underlying genetic architecture of migration Cross-breeding experiments were carried out in the 80/90s by Peter Berthold and his team at the Max Planck Centre in Seewiesen….
